Ling304 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Uh, weird. UCLA *just* sent me a APPLICATION RECEIPT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Shouldn't I have received this earlier? This is so bizarre. . This *is* weird. They sent me mine on October 12th. What does it all mean? (going crazy, it probably means nothing).
Unamuno Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 GL - two of my friends have already been offered admission via telephone and will be at the Hisp Ling recruitment day on March 1st. My recruitment weekend for general LING is 2nd-3rd. Hope to see you around then! So they call first? Now I have to be constantly checking my phone as well! Lol. I'm sure I'll know something soon, be it good or bad news, since this recruitment weekend is March 1. By the way PhDreaming, does OSU cover any expenses for the visit?
busbus Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) . This *is* weird. They sent me mine on October 12th. What does it all mean? (going crazy, it probably means nothing). I asked and this was the reply. I guess they're not done giving out decisions. "The fee waiver was processed. You application was reviewed but in order to fill in decision, the fee waiver needed to be input into the system. Decisions will be out soon." And I inquired how we will be notified. The response: "You will get an email from UCLA graduate division that your decision has been submitted. Then you will be prompted to log into the website to view decision."

funology Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 "You will get an email from UCLA graduate division that your decision has been submitted. Then you will be prompted to log into the website to view decision." The website doesn't have my decision up yet, so you can take that as a data point.
Pleng Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Now I'm not excited anymore. It's just too slow!
Reddawg50 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 haha I have the SAME feeling. can't feel excited for days on end, it gets old.
elizabethrose14 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I was excited today too.. and I got a ton of e-mails, but none of them were the ones I was looking for. Figures.
Pleng Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 That awkward moment, when an e-mail from your crush is less exciting than one from your dream U.
AppPsycholinX Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 After last week of 3 rejections(Stanford, Berkeley, and UMich) and 1 waitlist (USC), I got an interview from CMU (SLA) just now. radioalfredio 1

Triple Tall Cappuccino Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Congrats! Was it through email or phone call?
Triple Tall Cappuccino Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Ah! I just got mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I am really excited. I was feeling rather melancholy, since I had only received a rejection. But finally! A break! Edited February 8, 2012 by Triple Tall Cappuccino
snoods Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 congrats!!!!! after 2 rejections, I'm hoping for something good this week.... pleeeeeeaaaase !!!
txelizabeth Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 My week can be summed up as: "Let me in to your school!" Refresh, refresh, refresh! Ling304 1
Reddawg50 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 yeah uh does it seem like they're all behind this year? or maybe we'll all get a bunch of decisions all of the sudden saaaaayy, tomorrow?
snoods Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 tomorrow would be oh so lovely....... meanwhile, I'm obsessed with my Plan B if I get rejected from all my schools. Ugh just let me know what I'll be doing next year already!!
travgrad Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Hello all, this is my first message to the forum. I just wanted to say for the record that this is the best and worst website for hopeful graduate students. I don't believe any explanation is necessary here. We all know what I mean. I've had a particularly disappointing week, consisting of three rejections. The remaining four programs have yet to tell me their decision. I'm eternally optimistic, however, and I appreciate all of your enthusiasm and good luck wishes. I'd like to vent briefly that as much as I love my professors, their strong belief in my academic potential and their unsolicited ego-boosting have only left me with higher expectations than I originally wanted to have in this process. It's time to bring myself down to earth and wait patiently. If it works out, it will work out. If not, I could always try again or just move on. The last option of moving on is not very common for me, so I guess I'll be trying again next year if I find myself without an acceptance. Again, thanks to all of you for being so positive and, above all, gracious in your acceptances and rejections. I have so much hope for our generation of scholars. I wish all of you the best. wlkwih2 and txelizabeth 2
Ling304 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 My week can be summed up as: "Let me in to your school!" Refresh, refresh, refresh! This is an accurate summery of my week too, LOL. Welcome, @travgrad, I keep my fingers crossed for you (and me, and everyone else on this thread).
PhDreaming Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 So they call first? Now I have to be constantly checking my phone as well! Lol. I'm sure I'll know something soon, be it good or bad news, since this recruitment weekend is March 1. By the way PhDreaming, does OSU cover any expenses for the visit? I saw the e-mail that my friend got following the phone call and they (hisp ling) will reimburse up to $250 for airfare. It's not a lot but it's certainly enough to cover most of the flight for a domestic student. Plus the airport is like 2 miles from downtown which is pretty nifty for such a large city. Hope that helps.

Reddawg50 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Rejection from Stanford (Educational Linguistics). I don't like only having 1 interview. It puts a lot of pressure on that one--- like if I don't make it, the rest of my life is screwed and I'm stuck in the job I'm in now (please God no). 4 answers, 9 to go...
Reddawg50 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Northwestern decisions are online in your accounts, folks... good luck.
